The Truth

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, or any of its characters.

Authors Note: Short Chapter beware! The shortest chapter I have ever written 421 words, I'm so happy and proud. Although I bet your not, see I have a tendency to make things long; I have a huge problem with college essays, oops. I guess you could say Ken is OOC. Happy Reading!

Part 3: Ken Ichijoujii and Iori Hida: In Absence, Forgotten

Chapter 3.2: Friday Night Movie

Ken sighed "Odaiba," yep that is where he lives now Odaiba. Currently Ken stood in front of Cody's apartment, he reached out a steady hand and rang the doorbell. Moments later the door was opened by a women with a soft face, "Why hello, you must be Cody's friend. Come in he is practicing Kendo right now but should be done any minute now."

"Arigatou Mrs. Hida," replied Ken with a smile as he followed Cody's mother into the house, removing his shoes at the door.

Ken sat in silence at the kitchen table, just glaring at his duffle bag and listening to the rhythmic noise of the wall clock. He looked up to see Mrs. Hida finis the preparations on dinner, "Would you like any help, Mrs. Hida?"

"Oh no dear, I'll be done in a moment," she replied as she quickly set the table as if on cue Cody and his Grandfather entered the kitchen. After their greetings they all sat down to eat a silent meal it was a comfortable silence, one that proved good food.

As soon as the dishes were cleared Cody and Ken went into the living room to watch movies. Cody was never a big movie watcher, but he did enjoy samurai films and a few other choice films.

"So what do you want to watch Cody? All I got is Anime," said Ken as he pulled out all his films.

"That's fine, any Samurai films?"

"Ahh… Kenshin good choice," said Ken as he picked up the Kenshin season one box set and removing disc one. Ken handed the DVD to Cody who put it in.

They two sat on the sofa as Cody's mom brought over popcorn, "So how is the old gang?" asked Ken.

"I don't know we are all separated, I only converse with Yolei and that is seldom. How about you don't you play soccer and see Davis?" replied Cody as he pressed play on the controller.

"Nah, I still play soccer and all but this is my life manga and anime, anime and manga," said Ken, Cody raised an eyebrow, "Don't look at me like that I still stick to my studies, it's just something to do by yourself you know?"

"Maybe I should start," laughed Cody as the beginning credits began to roll.

Ken smiled, "You should, hey why don't we make every Friday a 'Friday Movie Night'?"

"Sure… I kind of wish the gang was still together."

"Me too Cody, me too."

Author's Note: If you don't like the ending to the chapter they watch Kenshin all night you know the Rurouni Kenshin: Wandering Samurai Premium Box (6 Disc set), That is a lot of Keshin and they didn't finish, they fell asleep in front of the television. I don't own Kenshin! Although I still say a happy Kenshin is a scary Kenshin! So what does everyone think?
